Mate don’t bother. Lemmy.ml believes Russia to be invincible, whatever reality says. It’s just for some weird reason they’re allowing the war to drag on instead of just smashing Ukraine.
I’ve tried reason about this before but they just don’t care.
Buddy, even mainstream western media no longer believes Ukraine can win this war. The “weird” reason for fighting a war of attrition is to avoid taking massive losses the way Ukraine did during their fabled offensive last year. Maybe before trying to “reason” with people you should spend a modicum of time to actually understand the subject yourself.
Friend, you do not read mainstream media, do you?
Friend, I bet I read a lot more mainstream media than you do.
Buddy, I bet not. But it’s no competition. I asked because that’s not what mainstream media is saying at all. Or to be fair, I don’t know what country you live in, maybe they’re producing that image.
It’s pretty funny how you expose yourself as a liar here because it’s very much what mainstream media is saying across the west. Here’s a sample for you so you can educate yourself on what the media in the west is saying:

It’s just for some weird reason they’re allowing the war to drag on instead of just smashing Ukraine.
So weird they’re happy to sit in their unassailable fortifications depopulating the enemy military instead of going on the offensive and taking unnecessary casualties now that they’ve achieved their territorial goals. I am a very intelligent person (you can tell by my smug affect) and I just can’t put together a rational motivation for this.
